Product information
  • Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits
  • Presented here is  an indispensable, authoritative manual for engaging in daily battle with the Adversary.

Satan is always at work breeding sadness and anxiety while providing obstacles that prevent souls from making spiritual progress. In this concise yet powerful book, author Dan Burke presents the venerable, time-tested wisdom of Catholic mystics to help you understand the influence of the Enemy on your mind and heart, and the tactics you need to combat him.

With St. Ignatius as his guide, Burke presents here an indispensable, authoritative manual for engaging in daily battle with the Adversary—combat that is both inevitable and winnable. Burke will help you recognize the ebbs and flows of consolation and desolation, and distinguish between the voices of God and of Satan. Best of all, you’ll come to see the spiritual life not as a science to be learned, but as an intuitive art to be practiced as you move with increasing success from habitual sin to sanctity.

The battle for our souls is unavoidable. The saints won theirs by learning how to be spiritual warriors and by recognizing that we become stronger through battle and grow weaker from avoidance. With this book as your guide, you’ll grow in strength and contentment as you learn:

•    How to take captive every negative thought and make it obedient to Christ
•    St. Ignatius’s revelations exposing how the Devil seeks to influence us
•    The Paradigm of Ascent and the Five Steps to Sanctity
•    The three ways you can discern “Good Spirits” from “Bad Spirits”
•    The three principal causes of desolation—and what you must do when it afflicts your soul
•    Proven methods for moving away from sin and toward self-giving love of God and neighbor

Turn Negative Thought Into Spiritual Progress

""Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits" is a great resource for spiritual combat. Author Dan Burke presents to us how the adversary operate to hurt our relationship with God like sadness and anxiety as well as negative thought and how to turn them into spiritual progress instead in obedience to God. It will help us to become better spiritual warriors particularly in combatting Satan. It provides how Saint Ignatius of Loyola and many other saints prevailed against the demons."

This book should be provided

"This book should be provided to all kids doing their confirmation. They need this tool to be able to go out there and fight for their souls."

Okay Book

"I find the book a little simply written. It has great information, but ultimately leads you back to rediscover St Ignatius. The author, Dan Burke, relates his own life experiences and the power of prayer and discernment to overcome his negative childhood upbringing. It is a great testament to prayer as a powerful tool to overcome many obstacles in life!"

— David S. (4/5)

Great Introduction to Ignatian Spirituality

"This book by Dan Burke serves as a great introduction to St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises and Ignatian spirituality in general. Burke's explanations and questions helped me to better understand the stages of the spiritual life as well as Ignatian concepts such as spiritual consolation and spiritual desolation, which in turn helped me to recognize the work of God and of the devil in my life and grow spiritually as a result."

Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits

"Dan Burke's distillation of Ignatian spirituality is concise, profound and clearly readable. He helps the reader to not only sense, but also to understand the subtle movement of the consolation/desolation dynamic at work within one's soul. He also effectively uses his personal experiences to reinforce Ignatian concepts. I definitely recommend this book for those seeking a companion on their spiritual journey."
